PMSXcm CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT FOR ROTATING EQUIPMENT
PMSXcm is an AI-powered real-time Monitoring System for the early detection of damage to rotating equipment and predictive maintenance for a minimum of downtimes. As a cost-effective and easy-to-install add-on to the PMSXpro DCS, it enables remote monitoring of equipment health and increasing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Maintenance work
Maintenance work on rotating equipment used to be carried out at fixed intervals. In order to meet the increasing demands on availability and efficiency, condition monitoring allows for predictive maintenance concepts.
Reactive Maintenance
Maintenance after failure
Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance before failure, based on planning
CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE
Maintenance before failure, based on condition
Predictive Maintenance
Maintenance before predicted failure, based on degradation patterns
Prescriptive Maintenance
Maintenance dependent on predictive failure, based on degradation patterns and knowledge base
Real-Time monitoring of the condition of critical assets to determine if and what maintenance needs to be performed
Basic Principle of Operation
AI-equipped smart sensors provide predictive insights and alerts via easy-to-understand red-amber-green equipment health status information.
Normal Status: Smart sensor “self-learns” equipment’s normal operational state,
GREEN state: within safe life-time
Status Change: As state deteriorates over time, sensor detects these changes
Detect problem: When significant deterioration detected:
AMBER state: few months life
Detect danger: When dangerous deterioration is sensed:
RED state: few weeks/days life
PMSXcm VALUE FOR OUR CUSTOMER
Real-Time Monitoring
Our PMSXcm system provides real-time monitoring, enabling you to detect potential eqipment issues before they become significant problems. This feature allows you to schedule maintenance proactively, thereby reducing unplanned downtime and increasing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Smart Sensors
PMSXcm smart sensors monitor equipment performance and identify any deviations from normal operations. This feature allows you to detect changes in vibration, temperature, and other critical parameters, and quickly diagnose any issues.
AI-Powered Maintenance
The PMSXcm system uses self-learning maintenance algorithms to predict equipment failures and prescrible maintenance activities. This feature can help you reduce downtime, increase equipment lifespan, and optimise maintenance schedules.
Predicitve Analytics
Our PMSXcm system incorporates advanced predictive analytics to anticipate equipment failures and indicate the best course of action. This feature can help you to reduce maintenance costs, optimise spare parts inventory, and minimise equipment downtime.
Remote Monitioring
Our PMSXcm system enables remote monitoring of equipment health, allowing you to manage your equipment from anywhere in the world. This feature can help you reduce travel costs, optimise resources, and increase safety.
Small outlay for big gains
PMSXpro DCS system – no need to buy expensive central vibration monitoring systems. Simply install the needed number of sensors on the target equipment, network* them – using PoE – into the PMSXpro DCS, and you are ready to go. Once setup, PMSXcm provides alerts to both field and control-room operators via simple-to-understand red-amber-green equipment health status information, directly in the DCS‘ alarm and event system. Regular reports showing which, if any, sensors indicate an impending need for inspection or maintenance of the monitored equipment.
*Using standard Ethernet ports on your System-Q, iQ-F or iQ-R automation stations

PMSXcm's SMART AI-BASED CONDITION MONITORING BENEFITS
Once installed on well-running, healthy equipment, simply launch the sensor‘s „Teach“ function. This observes the equipment‘s normal vibration signature and baselines* it, so that any future deterioration can be detected immediately, with the appropriate impact severity prediction – red, amber or green.
*For applications with variable speed drives, the equipment RPM is required (from the DCS or via an optional sensor)
